New premises for Ranieri Tonissi
The Italian importer of MAN engines and operator of the MAN service base for marine engines, Ranieri Tonissi S.p.A., moved to its new headquarters in Genoa in June. Commercial customers will benefit from the location directly on the deepwater pier.
The move from Bolzanetto directly into the harbour at Genoa gives Ranieri Tonissi S.p.A. some 3,000m2 in space for the workshop, storage and administration. Some 2.5 million Euros have been invested in the former harbour workshop over the last two years to bring it up to the latest standard with state-of-the-art technology. Located directly on the deepwater pier, the new company headquarters not only offer short distances but also provide service facilities for ships of up to 40m in length – from yachts to working boats.
Ranieri Tonissi has been importing high-speed MAN marine engines and acting as the main service base for Italy for almost 60 years. The company was founded in 1886 and employs a workforce of 40 in the workshop, service and administration. Alessandro Airoldi is the third generation of his family to be managing director of the company.
